Prime Minister Morrison announced last week that the Australian government has decided to officially recognize West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He said that West Jerusalem is home to Israel and many government agencies, but the Australian Embassy in Tel Aviv will not be relocated for the time being but will only establish an office in West Jerusalem. The PM also said that after Israel and Palestine reached a peace agreement, Australia will recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.
In today's talkback, we would like to ask: "Do you agree with the federal government's decision to officially recognize West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel? Does this reflect Australia’s diplomatic views on the United States and whether it will affect relations with our neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia?
